The Influence of Coastline Geometry and Bottom Topography on the Eastern Ocean Circulation.

Abstract

An important feature of the eastern ocean circulation is coastal upwelling. Associated with the upwelling is an equatorward surface jet and a poleward undercurrent. The present investigation focuses attention on the effects longshore variations in bottom topography and coastline geometry have on these phenomena.
